No FEAR Act

Pursuant to the Notification and Federal Employee Antidiscrimination and Retaliation (No FEAR) Act Public Law 107-174, agencies must pay for settlements, awards or judgments against them in whistleblower and discrimination cases out of their own budgets. The law also requires that employees be notified of their rights under discrimination laws and the Whistleblower Protection Act (WPA), 5 USC 2302(c). The U.S. Office of Special Counsel (OSC) (www.osc.gov) is responsible for ensuring that agencies meet their obligations to inform and educate their employees regarding the WPA. For the complete text of the employee’s notification, please see the No FEAR Act Notice.

EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY COMPLAINT DATA

The No FEAR Act requires Federal Agencies to post on their public websites summary statistical data relating to Equal Employment Opportunity complaints filed against the respective agencies. The United States Coast Guard’s No FEAR Act data is updated on a quarterly basis pursuant to Title III of the No FEAR Act.

U.S. Coast Guard’s data is included in Department of Homeland Security aggregate No FEAR Act data.
